Nebraska might be left with a larger hole to fill at I-back than people think after Terrell Newby plays his final game at the Music City Bowl.
The senior accumulated 2,224 career rushing yards and 20 touchdowns, but was left with a tall order having to replace the popular and productive Ameer Abdullah after the 2014 season.
Newby won over coach Mike Riley, offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf and assistant Reggie Davis the last two seasons with his work and reliability. Some of the biggest dividends came in back-to-back fourth quarters against Illinois and Indiana this season, when Newby ran for 170 yards and 6.3 per carry to help secure much-needed wins.
